    Fans of the cartoons will be happy to know that the game contains everything from the originals, including voices and bad jokes.

    Although nothing special or notable for original ideas, this is how a licensed game should be done. If you’re a fan, God-forbid, you might just like it. Kudos to Artificial Mind & Motion.

    Mystery Mayhem does a fine job of capturing the feeling and atmosphere of the beloved TV series, but the overly simplistic gameplay is where the game falls short.

    Even the youth market, at which it's aimed, should be able to clear enough of it to sate their Scooby urges in an overnight period, leaving parental wallets free for better gaming purchases.

    Parents whose kids have Scooby-Doo hot on the brain from the movie can safely rent this one, or not, without worry of missing much.

    This is definitely a game for hard-core Scooby fans. Or children under the age of ten. Or children under the age of ten with a short attention span. Or, ideally, all of the above.

    But unless your mommy tucks you into your Scooby-Doo bed sheets at night, you probably won’t be entirely satisfied.

    Simple mechanics for the player to get a hand of the game, a cheesy and predictable yet entertaining mystery plot and the Scooby DooSimple mechanics for the player to get a hand of the game, a cheesy and predictable yet entertaining mystery plot and the Scooby Doo characters.
    All of the essence of the classic Scooby Doo cartoon is perfectly added on here. Which makes it a perfect game based on a cartoon, but since it's based on a bland cartoon, the game's bland as well.    … Expand

    Visually, this looks and sounds like the real thing. But the gameplay is much too simplistic even by kids
    standards
